On Tuesday, while the children were enjoying the Festival of Play Dundee, alongside Gabriella Castaneda from Interactive Entertainment Scotland, Shahneila Saeed was delighted to host a roundtable on Supercharging Scottish Skills.

We gathered representatives from the games industry, the Scottish government and Scottish education to discuss where the skill gaps are, what can be done to fill them and how Scotland can keep its hard-earned place at the forefront of an £8.6bn industry.

We want to help the next generation get from classrooms to boardrooms and beyond, one digital skill at a time.

The Festival of Play Dundee is here!

We are delighted to be bringing creative computing workshops to the pupils of Scotland.

Local companies talking to children about their careers and showing what they do.

Innovative lessons showing children how computer games can teach the computing skills they need.

All thanks to EA - Electronic Arts and Abertay University .

For five years, our Festival of Play with EA - Electronic Arts has done more than just show children Computing can be fun. It has shown them that people like them make the games they love.

As Shahneila Saeed says, if children can see it, they can be it, and at the Festival of Play they can see themselves being the gamemakers of tomorrow.

Skills, careers and joy – that’s the Festival of Play in a nutshell.

19th Century Building, 21st Century thinking.
